Background summary
Due to a better chance of survival for childhood cancer survivors, this
population is growing. Fatigue is often been seen at the longterm follow-up
clinic. Research has shown that activity stimulation results in a decrease of
fatigue.
'Fit by Foot!' is a program which leads to more physical activity in daily life
in a simple way.
Study objective
To study the effectiveness of physical activity stimulation with help of a
counselor, wearing a pedometer.
Study design
Fatigued patients seen at the longterm follow-up clinic will be invited to
participate in the program 'Fit by Foot!'. Participants will be asked to change
their lifestyle with the help of a counselor in order to increase their
physical activity level in three months time. These changes will be achieved by
wearing a pedometer and setting new personal activity goals. Physical activity
will be registered in a diary.
Intervention
Fatigued childhood cancer survivors who have a low physical activity level in
daily life, will be activated with the following:
- Counseling
- Pedometer SW-200
- Information leaflet
